In the invention, the shock acting on the housing by falling or thelike, is transmitted to the inside of the housing as being through theframe to the display device since the frame covers at least a part ofthe display device and supports the display device.

At this time, since the recess is provided between the projectionportion and the frame, the shock from the housing is relieved orabsorbed as the projection portion is deformed so as to reduce thevolume of the recess, and the shock transmitted to the frame isdecreased. Accordingly, if a shock of falling or the like, is added tothe housing, the display device can be protected from the shock.

The electronic device with the display device of the invention ischaracterized in that a connecting part of the projection portion andthe frame is positioned on an extension of a bottom plate facing a rearon the opposite side to a display surface of the display device in theframe.

In the invention, the connecting part of the projection portion ispositioned on the extension of the bottom plate of the frame, so thatthe shock transmitted to the frame is transmitted to the bottom platethrough the deformed projection portion and is not transmitted to theend face of the display device.

Therefore, in the invention, breakage of the display device caused bythe shock acting on the housing by falling or the like, can be preventedeffectively.

Further, the electronic device with the display device of the inventionis characterized in that a connecting part of the projection portion andthe frame is positioned on an extension of a side plate facing a sideend face of the display device in the frame.

In the invention, the connecting part of the projection portion ispositioned on the extension of the side plate of the frame, so that theshock transmitted to the frame is transmitted to the side plate throughthe deformed projection portion and is not transmitted to the end faceof the display device.

Therefore, in the invention, breakage of the display device caused bythe shock acting on the housing by falling or the like, can be preventedeffectively.

By the way, an electronic device with a display device such as a mobilephone has often a receiver placed above the display device oriented forthe user to view display. When the housing falls down, the electronicdevice often falls down as the end part of the receiver side in thehousing first.

In contrast, the electronic device with the display device of theinvention includes a receiver positioned in the housing, characterizedin that the projection portion is positioned between the receiver andthe display device.

Therefore, in the invention, the projection portion is positionedbetween the receiver and the display device, so that breakage of thedisplay device caused by the shock acting on the housing by falling orthe like, can be prevented effectively.

The electronic device with the display device of the invention includesa hinge part, characterized in that the projection portion is positionedbetween the hinge part and the display device.

In the invention, the projection portion is positioned between the hingepart and the display device, so that if the housing falls down as thehinge side first, breakage of the display device can be preventedeffectively.

Further, the electronic device with the display device of the inventionis characterized in that the projection portion is positioned in an endpart in a shorter direction of the frame.

In the invention, the projection portion is positioned in the end partin the shorter direction of the frame, so that if the housing falls downas the side of the display device first, breakage of the display devicecan be prevented effectively.

An electronic device with a display device of the invention ischaracterized by a housing; a display device positioned in the housing;a frame for covering at least a part of an end face of the displaydevice and supporting the display device; a projection portion providedon the frame side of the housing; and a recess provided between theprojection portion and the housing.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION First Embodiment

An electronic device with a display device of a first embodimentaccording to the invention will be discussed with the accompanyingdrawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a mobile phone of the electronic devicewith a display device of the first embodiment according to theinvention, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of an upper housing,FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a frame, FIG. 4A is a sectional view ofthe frame and the display device taken on line IV-IV in FIG. 3, and FIG.4B is a sectional view to show deformation of the frame when a shockacts.

As shown in FIG. 1, a mobile phone 10 of the electronic device with adisplay device of the first embodiment is a folding mobile phoneincluding an upper housing 11, a lower housing 12, a joint portion 14for joining the upper housing 11 and the lower housing 12 relativelypivotally with a pivot 13 placed along the boundary between the upperhousing 11 and the lower housing 12 as the center, and a connectionmechanism (not shown) of a circuit board accommodated in the upperhousing 11 and the lower housing 12 for electrically connecting thecomponents.

The upper housing 11 includes a display portion 16 substantially in thecenter of a surface 11A, includes a self side-imaging camera 17 and areceiver 18 above the display portion 16, and includes a forwardside-imaging camera (not shown) on the back 11B. The lower housing 12includes keys 22 of an operation portion 21 substantially in the centerof a surface 12A and includes a microphone 23 below the operationportion 21. The joint portion 14 pivotally supports the lower end partof the upper housing 11 and the upper end part of the lower housing 12.

An accommodation portion 30 for accommodating a display device 40 shapedlike a rectangular thin plate for forming the display portion 16 isprovided as a recess inside the surface 11A side of the upper housing11, as shown in FIG. 2. The accommodation portion 30 is surrounded onall sides by inner walls 31, so that a rectangular frame 33 with a sizesmaller than the accommodation portion 30 is accommodated in theaccommodation portion 30.

Therefore, the display device 40 is attached to the inside of the frame33 and accommodated in the accommodation portion 30 of the upper housing11 and is a front display portion exposed to the outside when the upperhousing 11 and the lower housing 12 are relatively pivoted and opened.

The display device 40 of the display portion 16 is a liquid crystaldisplay device provided by stacking glass substrates 41 formed of glass(or resin) and a light guide plate 43, as shown in FIG. 4A. A liquidcrystal portion (not shown) is interposed between the paired glasssubstrates 41 and a terminal 42 is drawn out to the outside from theliquid crystal portion. The light guide plate 43 is provided on an endface with a light guide portion 45 thickened substantially like a wedgein response to the shape and the dimensions of an LED 44 of a lightsource. The light guide portion 45 is placed so as to protrude towardthe glass substrates 41 along the same plane relative to the lower faceof the light guide plate 43. The terminal 42 is connected to a substrate(not shown in the figure) by a flexible cable 46.

The frame 33 is shaped like a rectangular frame as a whole and the crosssection of each side is formed like an L-shape, of a frame main body 34having an inner face 34 a opposed to an end face 40 a of the displaydevice 40 and a support wall (bottom plate) 35 facing a back 40 b on theopposite side to the display surface in the display device 40 forsupporting, as shown in FIG. 3. Provided between the inner wall 31 ofthe accommodation portion 30 and an outer face 34 b of the frame mainbody 34 facing the inner wall 31 is a projection portion 36 joined tothe outer face 34 b of an upper side 33 a of the frame 33 of either ofthe inner wall 31 or the outer face 34 b of the frame 33 and extendingto the inner wall 31 of the accommodation portion 30 of the other. Theprojection portion 36 is formed almost like an L-shape in cross section,of a support part 36 b extended away from the frame 33, namely, towardthe outside (see the arrow in FIG. 3) so as to have a space 36 a as arecess and an abutment part 36 c joined to the support part 36 b andprovided substantially in parallel with the end face 40 a of the displaydevice 40.

As shown in FIG. 3, the projection portion 36 is provided in each ofboth left and right end parts on the outer face 34 b on the upper sideof the frame main body 34 (lower left side in FIG. 3; see the arrow inFIG. 3). The connecting part of the frame 33 and the projection portion36, namely, the connecting part of the support part 36 b of theprojection portion 36 on the outer face 34 b of the frame main body 34is positioned on the extension of the support wall (bottom plate) 35 inthe frame. The connecting part may be provided in the arrow A direction(shown in FIG. 4A) from the display device 40 so as not to transmit aforce to the display device 40 at the time of a shock of falling or thelike, described later.

The projection portions 36 are molded integrally with the frame and arepositioned between the receiver 18 and the display device 40.

Thus, if shock F acts from the housing 11 and the frame 33 comes intocollision with the inner wall 31 of the accommodation portion 30, theabutment part 36 a and the support part 36 b of the projection portion36 become deformed, thereby relieving or absorbing the shock, as shownin FIG. 4B. At this time, force f transmitted through the support part36 b of the projection portion 36 into the frame 33 is furthertransmitted into the support wall 35 of the frame 33, so that the shockreceived by the projection portion 36 is not directly transmitted to theglass substrate 41 through the frame 33. Accordingly, the shocktransmitted from the connecting part is dispersed in the support wall 35and the shock transmitted to the glass substrate 41 becomes small.

According to the mobile phone 10 of the electronic device with a displaydevice described above, the shock acting on the upper housing 11 byfalling or the like, is relieved or absorbed by the projection portion36 having the space 36 a, so that the display device 40 can be protectedfrom the shock.
